I started cutting myself one day when I was 19. I think I just wanted to know what it felt like. Sometimes, I still do it when I feel stressed or upset. It made me feel better afterwards. It's been a few months since I last cut, so I doubt that it's that serious. Sometimes I still have urges though. Nobody knows about it.

But now, sometimes when I feel really angry or sad and I'm crying I hit myself in my legs and my head. For some reason I forgot about this up until recently, but when I was younger (age 12-13) I used to do it then too. Then I used to be very angry and when I was upset, I would go into my room and cry and punch myself in my legs. I don't remember ever hitting myself hard enough to leave bruises, I just remember doing it when I was crying because I hated myself.

So, I guess my question is, would hitting/punching yourself be considered self-injury? Do you think this is something serious that I should tell someone about?
